Yesterday at THISTLEWOOD!

We have been here 20 years and it still takes my breath away, still makes me pause. ❤️

Grateful, thankful, blessed seems like an understatement. Every little thing, every bit of care is so worth it.

Should I plan a gathering of photographers and content creators?

Let me know your thoughts, as soon as possible.

A rainy day elopement. 🤍

Congratulations Jennifer & Jordan!

It poured. They laughed. They embraced every minute of it.

And somehow, the rain just made it better.

May your life together always be filled with this much love, this much laughter, and the kind of joy that makes you dance in the rain. 🤍

Get married at Thistlewood.

Butterfly number two. 🦋🤍

There’s something magical about watching something you cared for finally spread its wings and fly.

One of my favorite little moments at Thistlewood.
